So basically, just about anything you would ever use can play mp3s. I really don't think many people are still even using 486 based computers (which play them fine). The surplus computer places don't even seem to have 486s anymore.

Yeah, I agree!  I used a pentium 100(it was a 486 with the overdrive thing) and it ran them fine, no jerkiness, skipping, etc.

TheGatesofBill:
The GP32 has no trouble playing MP3s with a simple visualization with the CPU running at 30 MHz.

My car's head unit runs it.  Its running at...well, its not a computer, but you get the idea.

Not very taxing.  I remember doing it on a 90 MHZ pentium machine a while ago.

Chris:
When I had a Pentium 100, it would stutter some, and my 120 wouldn't, so although others have been okay at that speed, I would go too far down the food chain.  300 MHz PC's are practically throwaways these days...
